- States Of Matter
- Solids
- Strong forces of attraction, which holds them close in fixed positions.
- The particles don't move from their positions, solids keep a definite shape and volume.
- The particles vibrate in their positions.
- The hotter the solid is the more they vibrate (causing Solids to expand slightly when heated).
- Liquids
- There is a weak force of attraction between particles.
- They are free to move past each other, but they tend to stick closely together.
- Liquid have a definate volume but don't keep a definite shape.
- They will flow to fill space.
- The particles are constantly moving with random motion
- The hotter the liquid gets, the faster the particles move. This causes liquids to expand slightly when heated.
- There is a weak force of attraction between particles.
- Gases
- The force of attraction is very weak.
- They are free to move and are far apart.
- The particles in gases travel in straight lines.
- They are free to move and are far apart.
- Gases don't keep a definite shape or volume and will always fill any container.
- These particles are constantly moving with random motion.
- The hotter the gas gets the faster they move
- Gases either expand when haeated or their pressure increases.
- The force of attraction is very weak.
- Solids
